Ok, After giving up on figuring how to translate that information about how to link a picture (I have a few posted a year ago that still have to be looked at, so I may re-send them if get a more clear tip on how) here is a Canadian edition of the 1949 issue #34 of Wonder Woman. It differs in that it says "published in Canada" on the top instead of the month, and the bottom left side has only a slanted rectangle where the US edition has a "give blood" promo.
My copy may be in rough shape, but it's the only one I've seen and CPG has no Canadian editions of Wonder Woman listed, so who knows!

I found listings of some of these Canadian Wonder Woman reprints elsewhere, but no value info. Thought maybe CGC might have graded one by now, but none listed under any other country. You may have looked there already but comics.org has #33, 34, 35, from Simcoe Publishing & Distribution: https://www.comics.org/series/32470/

so there's at least 1 other #34, as they have a scan of it: https://www.comics.org/issue/888126/cover/4/

they note: "Canadian reprint of US DC series. Other issues may exist."

Don't know if Overstreet lists them, but that's the other best resource.

Thanks for the info. The comic itself doesn't say "Simcoe Publishing", so that's good to know! It just says by DC Comics inside, but that it's printed in Toronto.
Overstreet only lists Canadian comics if they had US distribution. As these editions were printed exclusively for Canada they only had Canadian distribution. That's why "Superior" publishing comics are in Overstreet but Bell Features, "AA", Maple Leaf are not.
